Vietnam
Download File (1.2 MB)

Pesticides are widely and commonly used in Vietnam in the cultivation of rice. Around 160,000 tons of pesticide are imported and used nationally every year for rice and other crops. Currently about 10% of pesticides used are dumped indiscriminately in fields, in the form of used packaging and bottles. Pesticides, used without due care and attention, can cause damage to the environment: polluting water, soil and air, and have harmful effects on the health and livelihoods of communities.
